The report concluded that world temperature is expected to reach 1.5C over the next 20 years, even with deep emissions reductions at best, and that the impacts will be more severe than earlier estimates.
Species extinction, ecosystem breakdown, insect-borne disease, deadly heat waves and mega-storms, water constraints, declining harvest yields-they’re all measurably worse as a result of rising temperatures, the IPCC says.
Only last year did the global world experience a cascade of unprecedented floods, heatwaves, and wildfires on four continents.
The reports are regarded as the most current and comprehensive synopses in the field of knowledge, and involve hundreds of experts.
I've seen many reports, but nothing like the new @IPCC_CH climate report, an atlas of human suffering & damning indictment of failed climate leadership.
I know people everywhere are anxious & angry. I am, too.
It's time to turn rage into #ClimateAction. https://t.co/ouBcbujyge
